Netflix series ‘Wednesday’ production and planning

Overview

The Netflix series ‘Wednesday’ is navigating production and narrative planning as it moves toward its third season. Following the release of season two in two parts during August and September 2025, production for season three reportedly began near Dublin in February 2026.

Challenges have emerged regarding the production timeline, as the lengthy gaps between seasons cause the young cast to age significantly in real-world time. For the 2027 debut of season three, characters are expected to be high school seniors, with themes focusing on family and the transition into adulthood.

Despite these timeline issues, producers Miles Millar and Alfred Gough have expressed a long-term vision for the series that could potentially span seven seasons. The upcoming installment will feature lead Jenna Ortega alongside new cast members such as Winona Ryder, Chris Sarandon, and Eva Green, with plots expected to explore Addams family secrets and locations like Paris.

Beyond production, the series has maintained a significant cultural impact. Lead actress Jenna Ortega has noted that playing the character influenced her personal style, often embracing gothic-inspired fashion. The show’s hair and makeup departments, including stylist Tara McDonald, focused on creating an iconic, minimal makeup look to maintain the character’s unique identity.
